Abstract :
The sensitivity of a PM FFL MPI (permanent magnet field-free line magnetic particle imaging) scanner was investigated using a serial dilution. The linearity of the reconstructed signal with respect to the particle concentration has been verified. A lower detection limit of 15 μg iron in magnetite has been found.
